Organic Fertilizers - My Top 5 Choices For 2021!

Great tips as always, Jeff. 👍 I've been making my own compost & mulch for a few years now, and I've been meaning to incorporate seaweed into my garden for those trace elements...to see what difference it might make. I'm only 15 minutes from Birch Bay, WA, where my wife & I like to kayak. I always seem to forget to bring a bucket or bag to collect seaweed though. The last time we went I thought about just piling some seaweed into my kayak...then I thought no, I don't want that smelly mess in my boat...should I pile it into her boat instead? That would be a bad plan. Maybe I'll just make a special trip to collect some seaweed. 🤣

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ha ha I like your thinking! To be fair, I always have the bucket issue as well.... My solution was large ziolock bags! Not as cumbersome as a giant bucket... Just stuff a few on my backpack and I was soon swimming in free seaweed! Lol

[@lizschultz1]

Best video yet Jeff - love it! Learning about our soil and how to feed it is the foundation to growing. I'm a retired 74 year old and had I still been growing larger scale I'd definitely follow your advice on those additives. I've always used compost, and always on top like Mother Nature does in her forests but now I'm tiny scale I'm cheating by using organic chicken manure pellets as my only additive to containers and new beds. One of the most popular beands here not only contain chicken manure but also blood and bone, fish meal and seaweed. Tes, they contain lots of animal products but being heat treated in the manufacturing process, I feel they're safe. But..considering I'm vegetarian for animal welfare reasons, perhaps I should consider sourcing plant only based pellets. I love this video I'm attaching and I use wherever appropriate in my FB Better Growing group comments - trying to spread the good oil on the soil food web and how our plants are fed and to complement your way of gardening. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIfLimepqLKnmKs

Mulch is the key to locking in moisture and nutrients... And then augment with seaweed or liquid seaweed fertilizers during the growing season

Hi Jeff. I covered my veg beds with leaves over the winter. I looked at them today and they are still somewhat wet. I raked them off the beds and have spread them out on the ground so they will dry faster.

Hey man thanks for sharing. Great info. I'm interested in your compost pile / setup. Looks like you have a smaller narrow compartment at the end of your system where you dig out the finished product. Just wondering if you turn your compost pile at all or do you just turn it when switching bins. Looks like you have a 2 or 3 bin setup? After the last bin is full do you just leave it to break down and fall through the cracks into that narrow space. Do you use much compost in your beds. How long does it take you to turn garden and yard waste into finished compost? I live in Canada too! In Ontario zone 5. Cheers

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hey, thanks for watching! My compost is just a 3-compartment bin that I rotate as they fill up and break down. Its a pallet-style one in that the boards/walls holding the compost in are not solid and they have gaps. Nothing really falls through the cracks, it all just stays in place. I'd say from kitchen scrap to useable soil takes 3-6 months depending on temperatures, time of year, and moisture. I use as much as possible, compost is not something you can over do. :-)

[@lizschultz1]

Molasses can be used to dramatically increase the number of microbes in compost tea - they love sugars - that's what plants feed them in the soil. Soak a bag of co.post and add some molasses - keep stirring off and on or use a pump to keep it aerated - if you don't the microbes will die. Regenerative farmers are now using this method to innoculate their soil instead of using chemical fertilisers. Then water it into your soil. Suggest you check it out for dilution and apucation rates. Sure is a grwat way to bring soil to life!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIfLimepqLKnmKs
